w220

Hi All, I'm looking for a front left and right strut for a 2002 S600L. I'm admittedly not very knowledgeable on Mercedes so don't want to find the wrong parts. Been quoted around 1300+ vat each side for Mercedes parts, so looking for a cheaper alternative or used parts if possible! The car has...

Hey folks, looking forward to buy s-class w220. I just adore it's looks after restyling. I'm not sure about the spec tho. I want something that will be reliable and won't break the buck. Also concerned about part's availability. It will be a secondary car, but I don't want to get into something...

Good afternoon, I have a Mercedes W220 and it has the service brake light blown (light with LED chips like the images attached), is there a special place where I can buy these without having to go to Mercedes?

Hi All. Hope everyone is well. I have a W220 S Class (S500) facelift and require a key fob, but it is slightly longer than the usual small 3 button black fob. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement? Or anyone selling one? Attached an online photo of the key that I require. Many thanks...

This is my w220 and I was wondering what everyone thought the best rims would be and would these look nice. Also let me see what all your w220 s class' look like so I can get an idea or two. Thanks everyone!

I have bought W220, 2001, S500 last week. It have 165k Kilometers on the clock and works perfectly fine beside only one issue. It does not lock or unlock from the key. I have to align the key to the door handle to get it lock/unlock. I got the car scanned but there were no errors displayed. I...

Hello, new around here so not quite sure if this is the right spot, but am grateful for any help. So I bought a mercedes w220 some time ago and ever since the car has been dying at stops, not allways but sometimes, I think I have narrowed it down to it not going into first gear on its own, I...

Hi, New here, been a serial lurker for a while and thought i would jump in and register as my enthusiasm level is 10/10 and mechanical skills are -10/10! i have my S W220 3.2 CDi, owned her for nearly 7 years. Shes done 120k miles Daily driver with the usual faults of air suspension, air...

Hi All - Our S320 3.2 petrol 2002 went off for some new parts at the local garage.. It was there a while, and when we picked it up, the battery was only just strong enough to start it. At home, it sat for a while (3rd utility car) and the battery was totally flat when I came to start it. To get...

Hey, I have a 2002 s320 cdi, w220 automatic. The car starts fine, idles fine, revs high and everything seems in order, however, after driving a few minutes (1-5min) the car looses all boost pressure. I have icarsoft mb v2.0 where i can retrieve some data, such as maf sensor values, and inlet...

Yesterday I changed the charcoal filters on my W220 S500. The filters I removed were Purflux (AHC394-2) and the airflow arrows printed on them pointed toward the passenger door. The new filters are UFI (54.141.00) and the airflow arrows pointed towards the centre of the car. Both these filters...

I know, I know...this old chesnut... - the fob LED flashes but boot stays resolutely shut - the key blade from the fob turns so far but, even operating the lid push-switch at the same time as turning has no effect. Lots of advice to *really* turn the blade but I'm scared of breaking it. - the...

Hi guys i have a mercedes W220 (S350) Ive recently noticed that my transmission was acting weird, in terms of gears shifting feeling a bit gerky and taking longer to shift. Ive checked my transmission fluid level and there is oil in it. Ive also noticed that there is anti freeze liquid from...

Hi guys, I have a Mercedes W220 (2003, 3.7l, S-class, s350) On my way back from work. I noticed that when I put my car in drive there was a slight delay in a sense of the gear clicking in place to move off, I also noticed that when I try to put it in N or R also slight delays. Once I pulled...

Hello all, The head-gasket appears to have failed in our W220 S320 CDI. Quite a shame as it has been maintained regardless of cost and happily racks up 100 miles a day. Does anyone know what I should be being quoted for repair? Common failure points to consider? Other items which should be...

Hi all I wondered if anyone has fitted methanol to their turbo Mercedes? I have the W220 S600 bi turbo and thought meth could make a decent improvement on the running/power? Maybe help to cool the chargecoolers better!?

Hello, I have a 2000 S320 (W220), and I’m having a really hard time un-hooking the springs from the trunk that help swing the trunk open. On the left side, the spring is set to maximum tension, while on the right side it is not. I would like to increase the tension on the right side as the...

Hello all, Our W220 2005 S320 needs its rear brake lines replacing. One has split/burst from corrosion. They appear pretty well corroded along their length. We are getting wildly varying quotes for the work, £250 through to £2k. From what I can gather, the rear subframe needs to be dropped...

Hi All, I have like so many w220 owners some airmatic issues. I have an old snap on Ethos diagnostic box, which reads the air suspension okay, however, when i look at 'live' data for suspension it only displays info for left front level and body accelerator. The box also picked up trouble...

My first merc and what a car! I can't wait to soak up some knowledge, share my experiences and become part of the family. Cheers!
